The Rebellious Bible | Part Three | Other People's Mail
Sunday Mar 22, 2020
Sunday Mar 22, 2020
(Watch Online) We've all run into parts of the Bible that were strange - even to the point that they were disturbing. We should've been clued in when the whole thing started with a talking snake! However, the parts that we're tempted to avoid are incredibly valuable and, if we give them a chance, transformative.

The Rebellious Bible | Part Two | Jesus on Every Page
Sunday Mar 15, 2020
Sunday Mar 15, 2020
(Watch Online) Sometimes we're tempted to view the Old Testament as something outdated or disposable on our way to the New Testament. Rather Jesus himself taught that the entire point of the Hebrew Bible was to lead us to Jesus. Join as we explore Jesus on every page!

The Rebellious Bible | Part One | Sky-Writing

The Bible doesn’t behave like we expect it to. It has rules but it’s not simply a list of rules. It contains stories but it’s not a clear narrative. It contains vast treasures of knowledge but it’s not an encyclopedia. It is filled with long, intense sections of (often very gloomy) poetry. It has in-depth and complex legal requirements. It is packed with strange, sensational and often bloody, history.
Believers have been both comforted and confused by it. Humans find it simultaneously sacred and scandalous. Some disciples dedicate their lives to deciphering it while other Christians hardly crack it open. How can people find the same book both breath-taking and boring? How are we supposed to think about, approach and be shaped by this library of books?

The Illusion of Control | Part Three
Friday Feb 28, 2020
Friday Feb 28, 2020
When we think about prayer, it can make us feel guilty. Most of us know we don't pray like we should. Therein lies the problem..."should". Yes, prayerlessness is a problem. But the solution isn't to buckle down and dutifully pray. Prayer shouldn't be thought of as a burden but a gift. Through prayer, we have been given constant access to our heavenly Father!

The Illusion of Control | Part Two

Tuesday Feb 18, 2020
Sometimes we presume we can't be honest with God about everything, including our doubts. But the writer of the 73 Psalm makes it clear that we can open up about anything and, often, honesty with God is the best path forward to easing our fears and doubts.

The Illusion of Control | Part One
Tuesday Feb 04, 2020
Tuesday Feb 04, 2020
Scripture confronts us with an uncomfortable truth - We have little control over the circumstances of our lives. We have all lived this when we waited to hear back after a job interview, when we experienced turbulence on a flight or when we had a sick child in the hospital. Those moments where, for a moment, the illusion of control was lifted, drove us to pray. What if, instead of being terrified by our lack of control, we leaned into it by constantly seeking God in prayer?

Pure & Simple | Part Four - Conquered By Conviction
Monday Jan 27, 2020
Monday Jan 27, 2020
Belief isn't simply that we THINK something MIGHT be true - Belief is when we have been wrestled to the ground by the truth. We often call this kind of belief, conviction. We may have beliefs but conviction have us. We are conquered by conviction. What convictions are so fundamental to who you are that they shape the very core of your identity and trajectory of your life?

Pure & Simple | Part Three - Worship Without Limits
Sunday Jan 19, 2020
Sunday Jan 19, 2020
Worship can be one of those elements of discipleship that we know is important but we aren't 100% sure what it is. Worship defies easy explanation. We know we should do it but what exactly is the "it" we're doing? Worship can profoundly impact and give meaning to our lives if we're willing to explore just a little.

Pure & Simple | Part Two - Obedience Without Excuses
Sunday Jan 12, 2020
Sunday Jan 12, 2020
Our devotion to Christ is observed in our obedience to Christ. We have a rocky history with obedience because we tend to think obedience is about a loss of personal freedom and agency. But that isn't the Biblical understanding of obedience at all. God doesn't expect our obedience because it benefits Him, He wants our obedience in order to bless us.

Pure & Simple | Part One - Devotion without Distraction | Patrick Doherty
Sunday Jan 05, 2020
Sunday Jan 05, 2020
Devotion described the earliest Christians. Now we might only describe the most serious Christians as "devoted". Much of our life and culture conspire to make our lives about anything other than Christ. Many Christians haven't challenged the basic assumptions about what or who we value, what we prioritize and how we live...and, without noticing, Christ was removed from the center of our lives. ...we have become devoted to something else. How do we reclaim pure and simple devotion?

What's It Going To Take? | Patrick Doherty
Sunday Dec 29, 2019
Sunday Dec 29, 2019
Every decision to improve or transform ourselves involves an entire host of choices. If we want to exercise in the morning we have to make choices about going to bed at night. If we want to be generous we have to make choices about how we spend our time. Unless we're prepared for ALL the decisions that are involved we're not going to make any transformations. Join us as we explore 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 and we ask ourselves the question - do we have what it takes?

Wonder | Part Two | It's NOT Relative | Steve Countryman

We're taught that God loves us more than we can comprehend. However, we're tempted to wonder if that's true when life is tough. How can we trust that God loves us when it's hard to see?

Wonder | Part One | The Final Frontier
Sunday Dec 08, 2019
Sunday Dec 08, 2019
(Note, the recording starts a few minutes after the message. If you read Psalm 8 you'll get the idea.) Wonder is not only knowing that God is loving, powerful and good but knowing the He is those things beyond our ability to comprehend. That space between what we know and what we believe is the wonder that fuels our praise our worship and our relationship with God.

Blindspot | Week Three | You've Got Something In Your Eye
Sunday Dec 01, 2019
Sunday Dec 01, 2019
Pointing out someone's blindspots can feel like walking through a field of land mines. If you step in the wrong spot... However, sometimes love means having difficult conversations. As disciples, we need to overhaul our idea of gracious, loving confrontation.

Blindspot | Week Two | Sin is a Scam | Patrick Doherty
Sunday Nov 24, 2019
Sunday Nov 24, 2019
Scammers are good at masquerading as the real thing and tricking people into doing things that are contrary to their own well being. Just like that, sin is a scam. It promises the very thing that it will eventually steal. It promises happiness and delivers sorrow. It promises freedom and delivers slavery. Worst of all sin makes it harder to believe that there is a Savior who doesn't want to condemn us but heal us.

Blindspot | Week One | What You Don't Know CAN Hurt You | Patrick Doherty

Monday Nov 18, 2019
(The audio quality isn't excellent. We we're experiencing some technical difficulties).
We all have them, areas of our lives where we simply do not see ourselves clearly. This lack of self-awareness is not only destructive and, to make matters worse, we don’t even see the problem. Scripture offers a prayer that can help us crack open these dark corners of our hearts.

Part of being a disciple is making disciples. No matter who we are we have been granted influence into someone's life. What do you have to pass on to someone else?

Elements | Part Seven | Dealing With Differences | Dale Hawley

Wednesday Oct 30, 2019
Whether we like it or not conflict will inevitably be part of life in a church family. The good news is that, if handled right, this can be a healthy opportunity to show love, grace and humility. If we all are determined to lean into the humility and sacrificial love of Christ then, we may disagree but conflict won't be able to divide us.

Elements | Part Five | The Spirit | Steve Countryman

Tuesday Oct 29, 2019
We are interested in Jesus, we are in awe of God but we often find the Holy Spirit so mysterious that we end up avoiding Him. Jesus was explicit - the Holy Spirit would be the very presence of God living in his disciples. Why do we misunderstand and marginalize the Spirit?
